Since the advent of muskets and artillery in this world, the pattern of warfare in this world has inevitably changed. Ordinary people and warriors also have the power and attack range that is not inferior to or even surpasses that of mages, which changes the way many classes fight.

If the musket changed more of the pattern of warfare between individuals and small groups, then the artillery, which changed more of the way now, is the model of this large-scale war between Zaun and the Noxian Imperial Legion.

In the past, the battlefields of this era were undoubtedly dominated by powerful and ranged mage clusters like the Imperial Mage Regiment, but now, the artillerymen are trying to snatch this crown from them.

Tulatan was in his military tent when he received a message from the front:

"What? How can it be? ”

"The Chris's warbands were routed at a distance of twenty kilometers from the enemy?"

"The front line has collapsed!"

He immediately turned around like a whirlwind and turned to the three-dimensional hologram of the overall battlefield in the middle of the big tent, and his huge body walked directly to the location pointed by the intelligence, and sure enough, he saw that the small dense points of light that originally symbolized his Chris's war group in this place had disappeared, and instead the defeated points of light were scattered, and he was thinking about escaping from the rear, and roughly estimated that two-thirds of the points of light had disappeared.

This meant that the enemy had routed the group led by Tulatan's fierce general Chris in ten minutes, and nearly 5,000 men were killed or seriously wounded, and they were incapacitated.

The strategic sand table can accurately display the dynamics of the battlefield. This is the battlefield communication and command system that the Noxus Imperial Mage Regiment has spent a lot of energy and time to set up. The appearance looks like a three-dimensional hologram, the whole occupies a space of twenty square meters, and rays of light crisscross from under the magic crystal cover at the top, forming this intuitive three-dimensional infographic, and can reflect the real-time changes on the battlefield according to the dynamics of the battlefield.

It is with this that the generals of the battlefield of the Noxian Empire control and command the overall situation of the battlefield.

Of course, the formation of such a strategic sandbox is not simple.

It requires at least one mid-level mage to be in charge of the overall situation and be responsible for the depiction of the sand table, this mid-level mage must be proficient in a zero-level spell trick used for dynamic presentation, as well as proficient in the mid-level arcane eye spell, as well as the spell water mirror used to project the battlefield situation, and must also be proficient in military geography, surveying and mapping, and intelligence, and be able to accurately understand and describe the situation on the front line. As a result, they can easily use the communication crystal to communicate, feedback and connect with the mages who are responsible for front-line reconnaissance in various parts of the front line, forming a complete field command and communication system, real-time communication, real-time updates, and obtaining the most accurate intelligence on the battlefield.

Such a system is very similar to the communication and command system of modern warfare established by Marvel Universe Earth at the end of the 20th century.

However, the empire's system relies on magic, through magic and mages, using communication crystals to connect the mages who manipulate the mage's eye on the front line and the mage who manipulate the projection crystal in the center, without computers, radars and drones, the people of the Loran world are completely relying on the mages, which are beyond the scope of ordinary earthlings, to build this system themselves.

But the final effect is not much worse.

Each mage in this system is equivalent to a supercomputer and a set of observation systems, from the front line to the rear, the mage cluster to the command center, they must be able to distinguish between the real and the camouflaged on the battlefield through various mastery and spells and knowledge, independent reconnaissance and transmit effective on-site information.

As you can imagine, there aren't many mages who can master all of these skills, and each of them is a master at it.

And for spellcasters, these skills will not help them gain any advantage on the arcane path, but will invest a lot of time and energy in it, which will drag down their research and progress on the arcane path, and it will definitely outweigh the gains for them. Very few mages take the initiative to learn skills that are completely useless to them. Therefore, it is more and more valuable that the battlefield system of the Noxians is more and more valuable.

Only a highly organized country like the Noxian Empire would spend a lot of time and energy cultivating mages who specialize in this field, so as to form such a set of communication command and intelligence systems on the battlefield to serve the Empire's foreign wars.

But, of course, such an investment is definitely half the effort for the Noxian Empire, which has gained enough benefits in the Empire's foreign wars in recent decades.

The imperial army, which has such a battlefield service system specially designed for large-scale warfare, is often able to gain battlefield information superiority several times or even dozens of times that of the enemy on the battlefield of large-scale campaigns with more than 10,000 men, so that it is very easy to form a local superiority on a certain local battlefield in which the number is more than the smaller, and the outnumbered are outnumbered, and then they are divided and encircled step by step, each of them is broken, and finally the victory of the entire battlefield is achieved. With such an advantage.

The so-called technology is at the service of war.

No other nation in the history of this continent has been so aggressive, so obsessed with expansion and conquest as Noxus, and no other country has gone further than the Noxians' Imperial Mage Corps in terms of warfare and the study of spells related to the service of war.

Therefore, until now, no country has been able to defeat the Noxians head-on on the battlefield, and for good reason.

Until now, they have run into the enemy!

After Tulatan looked at the hologram of the strategic sand table, he was still dissatisfied, how could it be?

Why?

Compared with the Zuans, the Noxian Imperial army has always been ahead of others in reconnaissance and preemptive strikes on the battlefield, and has never suffered such a loss, why didn't their own Imperial Mage Regiment fight back this time?

The strategic sandbox does not demonstrate the specific reasons why Chris's warbands were defeated.

"I need to know what's going on!"

He yelled at the mage who was in charge of the communications and information system of the entire battlefield.

Without the computing power of a high-level mage, which is equivalent to a supercomputer, it is impossible for him to completely control the monitoring system in the entire battlefield system by himself, and the entire battlefield command and communication system is like the computer Internet on the earth, from the terminal to the node, from the node to the backbone, layer by layer, layer by layer, and finally form the entire huge information network.

The more backbone nodes of the entire information network, the higher the computing power requirements for data centers and servers on the backbone nodes. On Earth, what is needed are those supercomputers, and the corresponding center of the current Tulatan Legion is a high-level mage.

In the face of Tulatan's anger, the corners of the High Mage's mouth twitched.

The expressionless face connected to the communication mage on the front line through the communication crystal, and after explaining the situation here for a few words:

"Good!"

"No problem!"

"The footage of the battlefield ten minutes before the front line will be transmitted back soon,"
